Biden Seeks to Ensure U.S. Military Aid for Ukraine Amid House Turmoil After McCarthy's Failed Bid

The Biden administration is trying to ensure continued U.S. military aid to Ukraine amid turmoil in the House after Rep. Kevin McCarthy's failed speakership bid.

Lawmakers warn disrupted aid could allow Russia battlefield gains, but bipartisan Senate support remains.

Some House Republicans increasingly question further Ukraine funding, while Biden stresses importance of arming Kyiv.

Deputy Defense Secretary says U.S. has funding to meet Ukraine's needs "a little bit longer" but urges Congress to act.

Western leaders will discuss Ukraine military aid at meetings in Europe next week as Washington turmoil raises urgency.
